I can understand why they were put there. To stop people parking on a pedestrian area, then backing out onto a main road, close to a pedestrian crossing. When there is a free car park 25yds away.

Shouldn't they reverse into the parking spaces, and then pull out going forwards.

I'm presuming these were the thick wooden bollards ? I was driving down Woodside, Leigh sometime back in october/november last year and I noticed that they had placed these into the grass verges obviously to avoid parking on them... The following week I drove down there again and mysteriously they had been removed ! Seems like an awful waste of time and money and wondere if anyone can explain ?

In theory yes. I always try to back into parking places myself. Not easy though, as it's a busy road, and there often people standing around. The car park is right next to the shop, but people are too lazy to walk a few yards. The same way that people will spend ages driving round and around a supermarket car park, to avoid walking a few extra yards.
